Ericsson, Monday announced that Brighter, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, has selected Ericsson Device Connection Platform (DCP) as its global connectivity management platform for m-health solutions. DCP is a cloud-based Internet of Things (IoT)/machine-to-machine (M2M) platform that handles connectivity management, subscription management and OSS/BSS, enabling automation of business processes between operators and enterprises.
According to Ericsson, Brighter will standardize its solutions using DCP and leverage the platform for lifecycle management, control and distribution of the next generation Brighter One, a connected device for diabetes treatment that combines blood sugar measurement and insulin injection capabilities.
Through DCP, global operators will be able to connect their subscribers to The Benefit Loop, which creates the potential for new and innovative service offerings. Brighter aims to secure contracts with operators that offer connectivity management services through DCP.

IoT is a key competence area for Ericsson and we see m-health as a sector with strong market potential. In today's competitive ICT industry, operators can benefit from providing e-health services alongside traditional voice and data offerings.
Truls Sjöstedt, CEO of Brighter
Our cooperation with Ericsson gives us access both to the industry-leading DCP platform and some of the world's largest operators. This is a win-win agreement under which all three parties can explore new business opportunities in the exciting and fast-growing m-health market.
